Overview

A guide and combat encounters detail tactics for defeating Wicker Man giant enemies in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion for Elden Ring, highlighting attacks like area-of-effect fire stomps and fireball kicks.

Recommended strategies include remaining mounted behind the enemy's legs, employing heavy weapons and a Mimic Summon, jumping over stomps, equipping talismans for stamina and fire negation, and striking the legs to bring the giant down for a critical attack to its head.
